Warmth of solid wood grains

Paintable

Excellent insulating properties

For years, wood has been a readily available window substrate, and the most common choice for homes. It could be painted a solid color or stained and sealed to show off the wood grain. Wood is also strong and easy to work with, is a natural insulator and complements many forms of architecture.

Compared to vinyl and fiberglass, wood frames require more maintenance. Regular sealing, staining or painting is needed to prolong the beauty and performance of the window or door. Frequent touchups and the occasional refurbishing, sanding and applying new coats is almost always required.

Manufacturers often offer aluminum or fiberglass clad wood frames to improve the durability of the window and door while offering the beauty of wood. Milgard WoodClad™ Series offer the superior performance of fiberglass and the look of clear, vertical grain Douglas Fir in wood veneer.

Milgard Essence Series® takes wood windows one step further by combining a solid wood frame interior and combining it with a long-lasting fiberglass exterior. Essence Series windows use a newly engineering mulling system that securely connects multiple units, creating a tight seal and protecting against air and water infiltration.

Essence Series® windows are equipped with the Milgard's an innovative water management system. It protects the solid wood interior by draining water away through a hidden system of water channels and drainage holes. This allows the window to perform at a higher design pressure than most standard wood windows.
